Operating from modern headquarters in Castries, SLASPA was created out of the merger of the St Lucia Ports Authority with the Airports Division of the Ministry of Communications and Works. This merger has created a unique position for the island by providing avenues to generate initiatives to maximize the assets held in its name and offer value-added services to its clientele.
The organization is managed by a well-qualified team headed by a General Manager who reports to a Council appointed by the Government. Its mandate is defined as the provision of coordinated and integrated systems of airports and seaports.
SLASPA also has one subsidiary company, St. Lucia Marine Terminals Ltd which was formed in 1994 and is responsible for the management of the port of Vieux Fort located in the south of the Island.
Under Shipping Act No. 11, 1994 SLASPA established and houses a Maritime Affairs Unit, for the purpose of the licensing of ships, matters relating to the safety of crew at sea and for matters incidental thereto. Consequently, it is charged with ensuring the highest quality of services at its air and sea gateways, and as a result continually seeks ways to enhance infrastructure and human resources to meet current and forecasted demands.
SLASPA also works closely with the St Lucia Tourist Board and the St Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association to mount effective marketing campaigns for the island of St. Lucia.

| Saint Lucia is rapidly establishing itself as one of the world’s major yachting centres, with the sheer beauty of the island complemented by a wide range of superb facilities catering to all the needs of the international yachting community. The island boasts three world-class marinas in Rodney Bay, Marigot Bay and Soufriere, all of which are official points of entry to the country.
Rodney Bay Marina is home to one of the world’s premier yachting events – the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC), held every December.
For More Information please contact: Oliviere Cadet, Chief Pilot |
Rodney Bay Marina is located at the northwestern tip of the island and is north of the port of Castries. This yacht marina is privately owned and operated by Rodney Bay Marina Ltd, and provides excellent facilities for all categories of yachts.
Marigot Bay, another yacht marina of international repute has had the distinction of being used as a location to film several scenes for various movies. Located almost mid-way down the western coast of Saint Lucia and south of Castries, Marigot Bay, is privately owned and operated by Discovery at Marigot Bay. This marina is always very tranquil and is a very safe haven for yachts escaping from turbulent seas during storms in the Caribbean region. Soufriere, referred by many as the tourism capital of Saint Lucia, is home to the world renowned Pitons and drive in volcano. Located on the southwestern coast of Saint Lucia between Marigot Bay and Vieux fort, the port receives some commercial cargo activity but it is best known for cruise and leisure travel. The port has the capability of berthing at anchorage, medium sized cruise ships and can accommodate alongside most yachts and catamarans. The Soufriere Foundation and the Soufriere Marine Management Area manage the port. |
